I find it weird that github user cmuratori is willing to write in so much detail about how to do it and how it's only a weekend of work, but doesn't submit a pull request themself. To me, it's rather easy to make requests and speculate about different approaches, but actually implementing the solution can be much more expensive.
Not to mention, as some of the other HackerNews threads mention [1], they very well could have already gotten cmuratori's idea from another person (in fact they say they already heard it from alacritty), and it could have already been an idea in consideration but they hadn't fully explored it yet because they chose a different path to try first. The github thread you linked seems to indicate the same thing. For cmuratori to just write a few github comments and then demand credit seems a bit much.
Also note that the blog post has been updated to mention cmuratori, although that could just be to appease the outcry.
